The Sermon
by NoirCzar

If i wrote a sermon predicting a later date

filled with hermeneutic knowledge from scholars, would you relate

or debate my written scripture, de-credit my spoken faith

quoting I am not official the spirit won't demonstrate

in vessel not anointed by bishops or magistrates

proceed to crucify my visions as blasphemous by the state

But if I choose to use peter the prophet in my defense

would you then commence to beat me with allegorical sense

using scholium after scholium in categorical pretense

to convince me that these talents are biblically too intense

chastise me till repentance, rebuking what's heaven sent

and embark upon a calling conflicted by evidence

then proclaim my prophesy while preaching your paragraphs

with moral application relating to trouble paths

using dogma examples and sampling from my past

to convince the congregation the patience they ought to have

Then review my given gifts with an exegesis eye

to contrast my claimed religion and label me Jerebai

till I am settled in a setting that's canonically correct

cast out then resurrected with praise for my intellect

exhaulting my indwelling, compelling me to direct

now religiously respected, revering my dialect

authored as a prophet portraying the premonitions

of Yahweh thru my decision to agape the unforgiving

but I am just a poet, a product of how I'm living

a picture of imperfection with Grace that is God given.
